Delete Inbound Rules In Windows Defender Firewall With Advanced Security
In this Windows 10 post, we will be showing how you can remove an inbound rule that has been set within the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security.
The firewall rule might be for a Port, Custom rule, program or game which is set to block, allow or only allow the connection if it’s secure. Whatever the reason for the rule is, it can easily be removed from your PC or laptop.
If however, you don’t want to remove the rule completely then you could always Disable the Inbound rule instead, so that you can enable it later on without having to create it again.
See below the steps for deleting an inbound rule.
